Summary0002888: Add a confirmation to science lab unlocks
DescriptionMaybe I'm the only one with this problem, but I find from time to time I will accidentally unlock something with the science lab. I'll have it selected, and click to another planet, then click back and not notice the color difference and think it's a building unit. Or I'll be mousing over the options and suffer a fatal accidental finger jerk, resulting in suddenly being the proud owner of Mark II Transports or something equally useless. (for my current game, not useless in general) I would like a (perhaps optional in a menu) confirmation box to pop up when I unlock something. It's not like unlocks happen often enough that this would be an annoyance. Just like when scrapping a unit, this would help avoid problems that you have to revert to an autosave to undo.

No you are not the only one who does this.
Also, could it say which player will be doing the unlocking? With team control on, it's all to easy for someone else to accidentally select your science lab and make you unlock something. This would at least give us something to double cheek to help prevent this.
